Anyway going back to the subject I am currently living in japan now and is planning on extending my stay here for another 7 months. There are aspects of Japan I like and there are other that i do not like for example:

I like the convience of the subway system here
I like that there isnt alot of crime here so i can ride my bike or walk
I am alot healthier since being here.
Make some fairly good associates(maybe friends but not really sure yet).

What I dont like:
the hanging out style here it a bit difficult (people being busy, house it too small ect...)
riding a bike in all weather conditions gets a bit much
the staring( though i try to ignore so it gotten alittle better to deal with)
Teachers teach for the test not to learn the information(at least in my case anyway)

These are just 4 examples
I have plenty more reasons than that. I been obsessed with japan since I was 12 and always knew that I would come here, but i alway tried to realist as well and since being here, alot of the so called stereotypes are just at first glance. when you stay in a place longer you see the REAL place for it self. But other than that I cant complain it the same everywhere.
